Chapter 2: Battle Heliopolis.

" Talking"
' Thinking.'
Yamato Kira was a kind and loving young man, he was very giving, passionate and fair. He was also now physically a man, he had made love to the woman that took his first kiss and now she would forever claim being his deflower. To be honest it was something that Kira didn't mind since both made sure each one was fully satisfied. It was suppose to be a one time thing, but Eve ended up spending the weekend at his place and they went through the box of condoms until the last moment possible. It was the reason why they were half an hour late for school the Monday after the party. No one paid attention since their friends assumed the two had problems getting over the incident that happened during the party.
On a boring Thursday Kira was wondering if the information he was given was nothing more than a waste of his time, worry and money. The only good that came from it was that he let loose and didn't push Eve away when she offered herself to him. He had figured that if ZAFT attacked and if Orb was making weapons for the alliance then Heliopolis would become their battleground. Sure the life boats were a safe place to be but the chances of them still dying in space was still very high. And like any red blooded human he did not want to die a virgin. He couldn't wait for the day that Tolle and Miriallia would take the next step in their relationship. That way he could brag about doing it first, he even had the proof thanks to birdie.
' After doing that I don't think I can ever say no to the next girl that offers herself, sex is almost just as good as seeing a battle, but no where near as good as holding a new weapon.' Kira thought with a satisfied smile as he made his way through his school, his friends already with Dr. Kato. He turned in his homework and rolled his eyes as Sai said he had forgotten to do his homework.
' Probably had another date to promote his engagement with Fllay. I swear I've seen more action in a children's play date than with Fllay and Sai. And that's because Sai is more than likely exaggerating, otherwise he wouldn't be having so many blisters from his right hand taking care of him.' Kira thought with a well hidden smirk.
' Oh well, how they live their lives is none of my concern, but if Fllay ever gives me a chance I'll show her why I'm better than Mr. Eternal Second Place.' Kira swore with pride before working on the assignment Dr. Kato gave them. It was common knowledge that Sai had never beaten Kira in anything. Many claimed it was because Kira was hateful of Sai for claiming Fllay. Those that claimed this theory were right.
' What the hell is with this OS? I know we only got a simulation pod but they could have put better work into it.' Kira thought as he downloaded the programs from the machine his friends were testing out. Kira found it odd that it was extremely similar to what ZAFT had with their mobile suites, but decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. He figured it was old data that Orb got their hands on, and decided to see what he can turn it into. He made sure that the Doctor didn't get his hands on the modification Kira was making, after all Kira had many things planned for the day after he graduates.
" So, what do you guys think about the new guy?" Kuzzey asked making Kira think.
" Not much we can say, he tends to like being alone." Kira said while wondering why the blond felt he had to alienate himself. His friends agreed before hearing Kiba's phone go off.
It has started.
Scarlet Rose.
Kira's eyes grew with disbelief as he read the message that was sent through the Internet instead of the traditional way. Kira stood as Heliopolis started to shake.
" Everyone hurry and get to the shelters." Dr. Kato yelled as they rushed out of the college.
" Kira/Sai!" Eve and Fllay yelled as their third friend was scared out of her mind. They heard the sound of alarms going off signaling they better hurry and get to safety. The large group of friends had run into each other on the campus grounds. Three teens had taken shelter under a tree since there was too much chaos for them to safely move.
" Get on my back Eve." Kira ordered making the females blush since they had never heard of him being so in charge. His first lover did as she was told as Sai helped Fllay and Kuzzey lift the last female friend. Miriallia was part of an athletic club and would be able to run at the same speed they could.
" Why are we carrying them?" Sai whined after running four blocks.
" That's why!" Kira yelled as he pointed towards where surface to air missile launchers were attacking some mobile suits from ZAFT. The teens looked on with shock and fear as the machine dodged the attacks with minimal damaged and destroyed the defensive weapons.
" Wait." Kira said as they stood outside of a shelter that was being filled.
" Where is the new guy?" Kira said making his friends look around.
" Didn't he go with Dr. Kato?" Miriallia asked.
" Dr. Kato went to hospital to help transfer patients. His fiancée works there and that's what he did during that drill six months ago." Kira said making his friends worry.
" You girls get inside, Sai protect them. Kuzzey, Tolle you two are with me." Kira said as they rushed back to their school.
" Don't worry they'll be back." Sai said as he held the hand of the frightened Fllay as they started to go in.
" The only reason Kira told you to stay is because you can't keep up with them and because you're the heir of your fathers company." Eve said with a scold making Sai's eyes to grow.
" Sai might not be able to help them but I can." Miriallia said before hurrying after her friends.
" Shit, Tolle is going to kill me if anything happens to her." Sai said before doing his best to chase after the spunky girl.
" What the hell?" Kira said after birdie landed on his shoulder, the bird was suppose to stay with Miriallia to help keep track of her and their friends. His eyes grew with disbelief as Miriallia and Sai reached them. Kira, Kuzzey and Tolle had stopped for a moment to allow a walking GINN to go by, they took off to the best of their abilities.
" Attention all civilians status changing from code 1 to code 2" An alarm sounded making Kira and his friends fear a bit for their lives.
" Shit you four head to the emergency shelter at the market. It should be the least packed since most of the people there would rush to their homes and try to save something." Kira said making his friends look at him.
" And you?" Tolle asked.
" I'm going to find that guy, something tells me he hasn't left the academy." Kira said making his friends look at each other.
" We can't leave without you." Tolle said making Kira smile.
" Don't worry about me, I've always been the fastest and had the most stamina. I'll be alright." Kira said with a smile before rushing to the school. His friends tried to call him but they rushed to the shelter, they knew he was right and Kira always did perform better than anyone in the school when it came to just about anything.
' I hope everyone is going to be okay. If Dr. Kato hadn't been there I doubt we would have gotten Fllay and the others safely to a shelter. ZAFT must really want to find what the Alliance was building.' Kira thought as he ran into the school. He quickly sent birdie to search for the missing teen. He followed his mechanical friend since it always had the unnatural habit of finding people.
" There you are." Kira said with a light breathe as he nearly crashed into the teen.
" What are you doing here?" The teen asked.
" Getting you to a shelter." Kira said before an explosion occurred making the way he came unusable.
' Great.' Kira thought with disbelief.
" Just let me go and go back to your friends." The revealed teen said making Kira's eyes to grow.
" You're a girl." Kira said making the teen mad.
" What else did you think I was?" Cagalli asked making Kira stop himself from saying anything foolish.
" Let's go." Kira said before holding her hand and leading her to the nearest shelter.
'The closes one will be near the warehouse, by this time all the other ones will be full.' Kira thought as Cagalli struggled and screamed as he lead her to safety.
' Shit!' Kira mentally screamed as he heard the sounds of battle near the shelter his friends were heading to.
' Dear Kami don't let the others be in trouble.' Kira thought as he hurried to get the blond girl to safety.
' Who is this guy and why do I feel so safe with him?' Cagalli thought as the young man lead her through the research center before they rushed the empty streets to reach the last of the shelters.
" We're in." Yzak said as Dearka, Nicol and him got into the mobile suit trailers and began to hack the machines.
" You three make sure to hurry up." Miguel said as the three ZAFT pilots began to work on their machines.
" How's your machine Dearka?" Yzak asked.
" It's operating fine but something is wrong with it." Dearka said with clear confusion in his voice.
" What do you mean?" Nicol asked.
" Well you see..."

" Father you damned us all." Cagalli cried as her and Kira entered a warehouse, they saw two mobile suits while Cagalli felt the true betrayal her father had caused.
' She sure is being over dramatic, although they are two pretty awesome looking mobile suits."Kira said as he took in the looks of the two machines.
' No wonder ZAFT wants to take them, those things look powerful.' Kira thought before ducking his head when he sensed danger. His eyes grew as bullets ricochet off the metal walkway they were on.
" Did they just shoot us?" Kira asked Cagalli as she looked at him like he lost his mind.
" You kids get out of here ZAFT won't hesitate to kill you!" A woman yelled making the fighting stop for one moment. The ZAFT soldiers looked at each other before glaring at the naturals that insulted their sense of honor. Without warning ZAFT began to get more aggressive in their attacks.
Not one to have things told twice to him Kira took Cagalli's arm again and they rushed out of the battlefield. It took some time but Kira was able to convince a shelter to take Cagalli, she tried to join Kira but he didn't give her a choice.
' Okay the damsel is safe, and the knight...' Kira thought before explosions shook the warehouse he was on. ' is more than likely going to die.' Kira thought as the passages leading to other shelters were sealed.
' Only thing left is if I somehow end up pilling those mobile suits to save my life.' Kira said with a grin.
" Yeah right, like such a thing will never happen to a normal person." Kira said before a smirk grew on his face.
" Thank god I'm not normal." Kira said before he rushed back to the warehouse to see how he could help.

" Oh shit, what do we do?" Sai asked with fear as the Mobile suits fought off the military of Heliopolis.
" We don't know!" Kuzzey and Tolle screamed at the hysterical blond.
" I wish Kira was here." Miriallia said making her friends nod their heads. They ducked down when they heard an explosion a block away.
+-*/\*-+
" Look out!" Kira yelled making the two ZAFT pilots look at him. Athren squinted his eyes as the figure looked familiar. While Rusty accidentally shot while thinking it was a Natural. Kira noticing the danger quickly and ducked making the bullets fly by.
Kira stood with lightning speed as he pulled out a weapon that seemed like a more bulky traditional Nine millimeter gun. It was mostly black but had a longer chamber. He released two shots, that exploded the two assault riffles of the ZAFT pilots. His third sudden shot hit Rusty on the arm making him fall over in great pain. Kira's aim was true which was why the pilot was crying in pain instead of being dead.
" That's the second time someone shoots at me! Civilians can fight too you punk bitches!" Kira said as he turned his gun in Gangsta fashion. The mouth of the woman that was out gunned and the mouths of the ZAFT members dropped in disbelief.
" Heliopolis for Life Mother Fuckers!" Kira yelled before shooting at the pilots and soldiers once more. The whole time he showed mastery over his weapon as he handled it in a side way position. The black and silver gun would let out powerful blasts as its magnum size bullets attempted to take the lives of the attacking forces.
" How do you like me now Bitches? It's doesn't feel good getting shot at, does it?" Kira yelled as he kept firing. He jumped over the railing and stopped his shooting before landing next to the woman.
" Are you okay?" Kira said as the military woman shook her head.
" Why didn't you help us out sooner?" Murrue said making Kira look a little sheepish.
" I don't really like fighting, and I think I'm going to stop watching Street Wars Marathons if that is going to keep happening." Kira said making the woman nod her head.
' Although he did do a great job in getting those ZAFT intruders to flee.' Murrue thought before Kira pushed her into the open cockpit that she had planned to get into.
" What are you doing?" Murrue yelled before seeing Kira turn and point his gun. The woman's eyes grew as she saw him aiming at a live grenade. She dove past Kira and pressed a button making the hatch close. While at the last moment Kira shot making his bullet pass through a small gap before detonating the grenade while in mid air and at a safe distance.
" Two can play that game." Kira said as he reached for his pants.
" We'll be safe while in here." Murrue said as she started up the Mobile Suit. "Get behind the seat so I can pilot this thing." The Sargent said making Kira have no faith in her piloting skills.
Suddenly the words General Unilateral Neuro-link Dispersive Autonomic Maneuver Synthesis System appeared on the main monitor as the machine came to life. Energy filling the unit as it began to break free of its restrains.
" Gun-dam." Kira thought as he made an acronym for the system that was displayed. ' Gun-damn is right, what do I have to do to get me one of these babies.' Kira thought as he took in every little thing of the unit.
" They're taking the Aegis." Murrue said as she did her best to maneuver the machine.
' Kami-sama. I hardly ever ask for much but please... let this woman suck as a pilot so that we won't be stuck fighting in a defective unit.' Kira thought with light tears as he prayed. The Sargent looked back and worried about how much the fighting was effecting his mentality.
" Here we go." Murrue said as she slowly brought out the Machine. While the warehouse collapsed on itself.

"We failed in capturing the second unit, Rusty is hurt, I'll be taking him back to base." Athrun said as he got in communication range with a GINN that was pointing at him.
" Seems like the information we received was incorrect about the units." Miguel said after seeing Athrun land with the Aegis.
" What?" Athrun asked.
" Dont worry about it. Just go, I'll take care of the last machine." Miguel said as he prepared to fight.
" Will you stop that?" Murrue said as Kira whistled while trying to distract himself.
" Sorry, but it would be nice if you moved faster, that way you won't get the shelters involved." Kira said making the Sargent get upset.
" I know that." The woman said with frustration.
" Good because there is a GINN heading this way and the best place to fight it is over those mountains." Kira said making the woman glare at him.
" Eyes front!" Kira yelled when Miguel 's Gin swung his sword and smacked the Gundam in the head. It stumbled to the side making Murrue scream and Kira let out a mental curse.
" Stupid Natural, trying to become something he can never be." Miguel gloated before kicking the Alliance Unit making it go flying into the Morgenroute research facility.
' There goes my scholarship.' Kira thought before hearing bullets go flying at them. For an unknown reason the Gundam's screen blinked and Zoomed in on four figures.
' Shit its my friends, she won't be able to save them, what do I do?' Kira thought with worry. Suddenly his eyes grew as he saw a button flashing.
' Dramatic rescuing of helpless civilians.' Kira read with disbelief. He closed his eyes and shook his head only to see the words were gone.
' I must have hit my head thanks to her crappy piloting.' Kira thought before pushing past Murrue and pushing the button. The machine suddenly did a flip and skidded on the ground to block a few rogue shots that headed to his friends.
' What the hell?' Miguel and Murrue thought before Kira looked at the woman.
" I think its time for me to drive." Kira said making the woman nod her head. She groaned as she clutched at a bullet wound she that was bleeding.
' When the hell did that happen?' Kira thought before ignoring her injury and taking over.' First thing first, I need to do is get rid of this OS.' Kira thought before making his fingers blur as he went through programs while breaking them apart and rebuilding them better than the alliance could ever hope. He was finding a large amount of potential that had yet be discovered by the original programmers. He only wished he had more time to fully test his new operating system and what the machine could really do.
" How did you do that?" Murrue asked.
" Very Carefully." Kira said before he glared at Miguel.
" Ready for more?" Miguel taunted as Kira took a few slow steps.
" Nothing has changed." Murrue gloated making Kira roll his eyes. The Alliance machine suddenly ducked as the GINN's sword flew over its head. Showing speeds neither Miguel or Murrue had thought possible.
Kira tackled the machine in front of him making it go flying.
" Bastard!" Miguel yelled only to have his eyes grow with disbelief.
" With the limited power I got I won't be able to use the weapons this machine carries... so I'll be taking yours." Kira transmitted to the GINN making Miguel fear for his life. The machine took to the air making Kira smirk.
" You got one more thing I want!" Kira yelled making the GINN turned when its sensors reported a machine behind it. Kira had boosted after it. The Alliance machine leaned its head back as the GINN sword flew over it. At the same time one of its legs kicked the hand of the unit making the long blade go flying into the air. The two units broke apart thanks to the attack and Kira smirked before blasting it with the assault riffle he took.
With four carefully planted shots the GINN had both of its legs blasted off.
" Damn it!" Miguel yelled as he launched out of the unit making Kira's eyes to grow. He made the machine he piloted fly towards the GINN and grab one of its arms. He spun in the air and threw it at the direction of where the destroyed defensive weaponry was at. He released two more shots making them pierce the chest. It caused the unit to explode before the self destruct could make a greater explosion. Kira twisted his machine in mid air and landed on the ground of Heliopolis before catching the GINN Sword with one hand.
" It's safe to say that our fighting styles are very different." Kira said with a smirk as his friends, and the woman in the cockpit looked at Kira with disbelief. Then birdie let out a chirp before the lights started to go off.
" Ah crap it's out of power. Must have drained the batteries when I worked on the OS." Kira said making the woman want to laugh.
